email Kraft for offensive Death Penalty commercial
To Whom It May Concern, I will quit buying any Kraft food products until
your commercial on A-1 sauce making fun of the death penalty is taken off
the air.

**** NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION!!
Last night I was watching a movie on the "Lifetime" channel and was just
absolutely sickened by a commercial that was on. It was about a "Death
Row" inmate who was to have his last meal. He is escorted in and placed in
his chair with what is suppose to be ( I assume) those who are to watch
the execution sitting behind him as he was to eat his LAST MEAL. It was
about "A-1 Sauce". On the guys right was a bottle of A-1 sauce and as he
was about to take a bite of food with A-1 sauce on it a prison official
steps up and says this is not the man and they rip off his name tag and it
is suppose to be FUNNY that another man tends to do this all the time (
changes places with death row inmates to get A-1 sauce). They realize it
is another man and this is suppose to be HUMOROUS!! My hurt BROKE for the
Loved One's who have family on death row. Here is the company's email
address and a letter I submitted today. I am including the comment that
comes up after you submit a message to the company " KRAFT"!!! Also a
phone number and address where they can be reached. WHAT A SHAME!! We in
America are so SICK to get HUMOR out of someone else's pain!!! This is so
sickening!!! Please do you part and lets see if we can get this commercial
taken off our airwaves. We DID have success with a car Insurance company
that had an advertisement where they made fun of an inmate. Write, call or
email, anything you can do to maybe see this STOP!!!

I was highly offended by a commercial for A-1 sauce that I saw twice on
"Life Time" channel last evening. It is where a man is on death row,
eating his last meal and A-1 sauce is at his side. As a "humorous" thing a
Warden ( or official of the prison) realizes it is another man and strips
his name tag and states he does things like this all the time. In other
words he changed places with a man on death row to eat his last meal and
get A-1 sauce. As a member of a prison reform group I really was upset
seeing this commercial. My Loved One is wrongfully convicted with a life
sentence BUT what about all the people who have Loved One's on death row!!
Do you realize how many are wrongfully convicted in the USA today??
Everyday someone is released due to DNA testing and what about those who
have no DNA to clear them?? REGARDLESS I think it is so cruel for us in
America to have a good laugh at the pain and suffering of many others. We
are a sick society who can laugh at others pain. I pray for those who may
see this and their Loved One is on death row. PLEASE take this offending
commercial off as soon as possible. I have to admit that if and when I buy
a "Kraft" product now I will be thinking about this and probably will not
buy a product made by Kraft until this is remedied. Also I am passing this
along to many across America who work with prison reform. Isn't prison and
ESPECIALLY death row their SENTENCE. Not to be ridiculed on a TV
commercial!!
